THB MRMPHIS APPEAL
FOR 1886.

The Apbeaf enters upon It's forty
sixth year ripe in he experiences Of
the last, and full Of hope for a future
or the whole country, but especially for
this tins and the neighbsring States
that shall surpass the dreams Of the
most sanguine. All the question
growing out Of slavery, and which left
tnearly three generations have been set
tied, and the states have adjusted them
selves to the new conditions in a spir
it Of unity, peace and concord. There
are heretofore, no issues before the
lssountrY that are not common to all the
people, and that are not Of an econom
zeal and national character. There arc
no questions before the National Leg
tslature that do not equally affect the
he interestsot the States and that can
not be discussed from a basis OF per
SOM welfare by the by the citizens of
all Oh them. For the future therefore
egisla. on both national and State, Is
TO be Of a business character, and is
for that reason to come home closer
and closer to the individual citizen.
personal politics is with the bosses, to
be regulatedto the past, and civil ser
vice reform is to secure to the country
honesty efficiency and Industry in
public places. The political outlook
Is all that could be desired. Presiden
Cleveland has made an abiding impress
sion upon this csuntry, and at the close
Of his administration will have recon-
ciled even bis political opponents to a

cetard the progress of the country. All
rhe available lands of the West taken
up, the South NEST for many years be
the favored section for entcrprising I'M

mineral lands Of the North and West.
A rapid and great increase of manu-

A soft smile comes to her lips
and the little frown that has rested
upon her brow disappears, but al
most instantly it reappears and she
murmurs aloud: "But it's all over

The latter part of this speech is
spoken 10 a vexed tone, and she
brings her foot down with vebe-
mence upon the soft rug on which
she is standing.

grows a deeper crimson, but the fg-

stands, throws her arms around

soon followed by Lila who finds
herself not endowed with too good

glad that something has happened

"No, / should gladly welcome

Austin's face expresses his JOY
at this answer. He takes from his
pocket a pencil and upon slip Of
paper writes few words and hands
them to her.
She reads them, slowly shakes
her head, then glances wondering

This is advice from a wise dame, "
she adds, sand You must abide by

She throws her head well twisted
in papers, back in a manner indi-
eating that her words are Of vast
Importance. When Kate does a
thing like this it always strikes
Lila as ludicrous, and now she
bursts into a little hysterical laugh
"Kate what should / do without

"There's no telling dear how many
errors you would make without
my wonderful guidance and wis
dom"
"And what would Frank do with
out you, too?"
"Ohl indeed, he'd make love tC
you and thus cause Master Rosco,

Atthe mention of Roscoe's nam,
Lila's face clouds again.
In a short while they descend tC
the breakfast room where Mr.. and
Mrs. Singleton and Miss Claxtor
have already assembled. Mrs. Sin

is fairly ablaze with Joy.

Il assure you your fears are
without foundation. There is not,

listing between Roscoe Rouselle and

A glad light flashes into his eyes.
"Thcn I may hope"
"No, you may no"
"Why can"

and forever, If you wish to retain

will not listen to another word"
She rises and crossing the room
goes over to where Kate and Frank
have been too thoroughly engross-
cd in themselves to know anything
of their actions.
Lila had hoped in q vague way
that Roscoe would enter his friends
studio during their visit. Not that
she expects to make any advances
whatever, but some how she feels
tnas if sho could soc him she would
be able to calculate the depths Of
his anger, and before leaving him
she would like to soc how he's taxi
ing the affair, and she wonders if
his heart is aching as hers is doing
though to be sure he should never
know hersis suffering. Every trace
Of it she'd hide from him.
Could he hide his feelingsg She
knows he cannot and that one look
into his eyes would tell her what
those feelings were.
Once during the morning while
standing apart from the others and
near window that is parallel with
one in Roscoe's office, clearly and
distinctly she hears him singing
softly to himself. His tone is low
and sad yet every word is distinct.
She knows heis utterly unconscious
that any one can hear him. Her
heart beats with renewed pain as
she listens.
He commences the second verse
of the song and into his voice
creeps a deeper sadness.
A tear almost rises IN her eyes
and q choking sensation takes pos
session of her throat when he soft
" sings:
"ThOse happy days of old must be
forgot"
On he sings until he comes to
the part which says:
"Ah! when your love has conquer
ed pride and anger,
I know that you will call me back
again"
He does not say this, instead he
says:
81 hope that you will call me back
again"
Does he hope she'll call him
back again. Then his pride and
anger is cooling down.
A glad sweet joy leaps into her
breast. If she but had the oppor
tunity would she not "call him
back againY" What a change hel
feelings have undergone since th,
day before. Hitherto he hal
seemed a pleasant companion, ont
on whom she could rely as a tru'

Frank requested them to com

Dress Topics.

Timely Notes on a Variety of Midsummer
Dress Topics.
Bebe ribbon of black velvet is worn
about the throat and tied behind. This
ribbon is of the narrowest width that is
sold.
Narrow-shaped lace fichus in black,
white or pale tints of color are again
worn with summer dresses cut V shape
in the neck.
Light wool dresses of sang de byuf
color are favored by English women of
rank. These are braided in black, and
en- suite are hats and parasols of min
gled red and black to correspond.
Stripes are arranged in many ways.
The almost plain round skirt, made of
velvet-striped fabric, is often cut en-
tirely on the bias. The overdress of
plain material is arranged en- .jabot to
reveal glimpses of the stripe set on
diagonally as facing, or straight of
the goods, and finally, the bodice opens
wide over plastron, on which the
stripes are arranged cheGronwise.
Some of the new tennis costumes are
made of pine-yellow Mexican grass
cloth, trimmed on the panels which di-
vide the kits on the front and sides
with elaborate Turkish embroideries.
With these are worn the soft, feather
weight tennis hats, made of red and
ecru zephyr felt in narrow stripes.
A dressy way to vary the bodice of
black lace gown is to have a pointed
satin corsage, rounded over the chest
in front with shoulder-straps of the
same, the back terminating in V.
This forms a low-cut bodice. and to
partly veil the neck scarfs of lace are
arranged in surplice-fashion from the
shoulder seams of the lace waist to the
belt. The sleeves are unlined, and this
corsage entire will make a becoming
and comfortable one for evening or
high-tea wear whenever the weather is
sultry.
Jersey bodice is the generic title for
all makes of woven stockinette waists.
These have various shapes designated
by particular names, but fashion has
finally declared in favor of the Nor
mandy jacket. A trim belt encircles
the waist, which is slipped beneath the
pleats on either side, but buckles over
the center one. Some of the waist
clasps attached are very handsome,
Norwegian silver and gold forming the
most expensive patterns. These are
not as rule supplied with the jacket,
since the expense would be greatly in
creased thereby.

Asiatic Subjects.
England rules India in different
way than she does the other colonies.
Here the cannon-ball and the bullet
take the place of the ballot-box and
self-government. The executive au-
thority is vested in Governor Cen
eral, who gets 800, 900 year as a sal
airy and $4S,000 in perquisitis, The
Earl of Duferin, who was Governor
General of Canada about eight years
ago, is now at the head of the Indian
Government. He has a council of six
members under him, and there is a
Secretary of State for India at London
who attends to the business of the In
dian Government in England and has
control of all matters relating to it.
The Governor General is supreme in
India, but the different provinces have
subordinate Governors, and a number
of these are governed by native
Princes. England limits, however, the
military force which they can hold,
and does not allow them to send en-
bassadors from one country to the other.
The English army in India is more
than twice as large as that of the
United States, and it consists OF about
| GO, 900 men. 1t has, in addition to this, a
native army of 124, 900 men, but in case
of war it would not be surprising if
| these went over to the natives or by
their treachery did the Government
more harm than good. 1t costs $780,
600, 900 year to maintain this English
army in Iddia, and this, of course,
comes out of the natives. 1t is not
much wonder that they decidedly OBJ
ject, and that they would, if possible,
throw off the yoke of the British Gov
eminent. Their own armies. which
are independent of the native army
above spoken Of, outnumbered the
English forces by many hundreds Of
thousands. The Hindoo States alone
have 275, 900 men, and the Mohamme
dan States "a, 600 men. These immens.
